A soap bubble filled with helium gas floats in the air. Which has a greater mass wall of the soap or helium gas? (Density of helium gas is 0.1786 gram/litre and that of 1.225 kg/m3)

Since the soap bubble floats in the air, the sum of the mass of the wall and the enclosed helium gas should be equal to the mass of the displaced air. The density of helium gas is less than half of the density of the air. The mass of the wall should be greater than that of the enclosed gas.
